LOL!   It would have to be an outrageous offer before I sell these...I've been looking all over the world for these since I bought my 1st Drifter!

After seeing this video,

I might change my initial thoughts.   That bike sounds awesome with the stock pipes.

Just picked up a BRAND NEW set of RoadHouse Dooleys for the Nomad for $100!  This will be perfect for the dual exhaust I want.  All I have to do is make a couple brackets and buy 2 pipes with fishtail tips and it will look great!

Better yet, want to double yer money????   ;D :D

And now the slow process of transforming the bike into what I want.  I'm hoping to have the bike done in time for Sturgis.

Scored a couple nice finds and got them in the mail today!

First, another gorgeous set of Indian tank emblems and, a light bar still in it's original packaging!!!

Show off!  LOL!   Yeah, I like the looks of your bike also.  I'm seriously thinking about the Osprey bags also but when I read threads about sagging after a few years, I wonder if they're worth the money?   They are the best looking bags out there though.

Fixed my Osprey sag problem with a couple of steel struts inside......easy fix, didn't make any external changes, or anything visible.

Oh Yeah! I never tire of looking at the sweeping lines on those Drifters. Combined with those paint colors, just the right amount of bling, and the bags and tailbag you have, just can't be beat.

Your new ride looks to be very well taken care of, bambam, and I really like the two tone color scheme. IMO, that's the sharpest looking stock Drifter ever produced - garners a lot of attention. My son-in-law bought an identical one and is contemplating selling and I'll be first in line if the price is anything reasonable.

Welcome back, just wondering if you are going to lower this one also?

Thanks and to answer your question; undecided :-)   I did like the lowered height but it drove me nuts knowing the "lines in the back" were no longer parallel to the ground.  Most people didn't notice it but I did.
If I end up with large saddle bags that cover the rear end then I probably will.
